A Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on the National Nuclear Security Administration’s budget scheduled for today has been postponed until next week. The panel had planned for acting NNSA Administrator Neile Miller to testify before the committee at 2:30 p.m. today, but a conflict involving the schedule of subcommittee chair Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) forced the hearing to be moved to Wednesday, April 24. The hearing will still take place at 2:30 p.m. in Room SD-192 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
